No, that was not my intention. I'm just trying to learn and to get this program to run properly. I still do not understand why I am getting an error message where I pointed it out, nor can I get the program to find the maximum of the 5 integer values, any thoughts?

Here is my new code.

//This program is to calculate the sum, average, and maximum of 5 numbers.

import javax.swing.JOptionPane;

public class numberFacts
{
  public static void main (String[] args)
  {
    
    String input;
    int numbers = 5;
    int sum = 0;
    int average = 0;
    int max = Integer.MIN_VALUE;
    
    
    for(int counter = 0; counter<numbers; counter++) 
    {
      input = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Please enter an integer number.");
      int num = Integer.parseInt(input);
      
      sum += num;
      
      max = Math.max(max, num);
    }

    average = (sum/5);

     JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,
                                    "The sum of the numbers is " + sum);
     JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,
                                   "The average of the numbers is " + average);
     JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,
                                   "The maximum of the numbers is " + max);
    System.exit(0);
  }
}

I am still getting the "cannot find symbol" error message for line 24, I am confused

Also, is there a way to write this code without using the MIN_VALUE? We have not covered this in class yet. Although I'm sure it would not lose me points, I just don't know its application or understand it, and I'd like to be able to complete the assignment without using parts of code I do not understand.
